hello,its now 5 weeks on still no minutes from the meeting or a decision,being put on different deliveries every day and getting messed about!!!!!!,had enough so i,m going off with stress!!!!!!!!,any opinions appreciated please.

Typical Royal Mail Management in my opinion, they have messed up and in their petulance are now giving you a rough ride, Royal Mail have a duty of care for all employees as well as treating all employees fairly so if I was you I would have a word with your union steward to try and find common ground with this pleb of a manager, saying all that I feel you should have done this before going off with stress because one day soon you will have to step back into the same kind of atmosphere. Good luck mate and I hope all works out, it tends to and then you can put it all down to experience.

Get on the CWU site and speak with the area rep whose contact number should be on there but at the end of the day if you feel better by what you are doing then do it but do it without putting your job in danger.

i have been ringing my rep non stop for the past 5 weeks and spoken to him twice and been told i,ll be okay jobwise but until you get it in writing you worry!!!!!!!.

Is your rep the area rep then?

They can't transfer you as a punishment.
There has to be a sound reason for it.
I assume the direction your DOM is taking is to remove you from driving duties permanently and he is making a case that there are no non-driving places available.
That should be easy to counter.

[barneyrotts]

gone sick today with stress!!!!!!.funny thing is my dom seemed to understand and agreed 5 weeks without any news is wrong!!!!!!!!!.

[secluder]

Yeah, and then he will be straight on the phone telling people concerned how you've gone sick out of spite.

[wayoutman]

Yeah, and then he will be straight on the phone telling people concerned how you've gone sick out of spite.

and? the guy is suffering b&h at the hands of RM management as are so many employees at the moment, the knock on effect has to be increased sick leave for those at the bottom.

if your GP is happy to sign you off then let your DOM get on the phone to him.

[barneyrotts]

saw my gp and she said its shambolic and sighned me off for 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!,so hopefully this may speed things up!!!!!!!!!!!

[barneyrotts]

my case was concluded today!!!.i got a 12 month written warning and a 3 month ban from driving of which i have to pass a driving assement to allow me back on driving!!!!,so not too bad really!!!!!!!!.

[mazza111]

At least it's sorted and not as bad as you expected. Tossers stringing it out like that tho

[Himaggen]

I told you so, 'Misconduct only, written warning, re-training'. It just annoys me when something which is staring your representative in the face isn't nipped in the bud before it gets this far. (Although it is easier to see the whole picture when your can sit back from it a little further like I was)

I know congratulations aren't really in order but be happy that you received a penalty which was not excessive for the offence committed.

[ElvisGaddafi]

You have a s**t rep mate. Maybe you, and the rest of your office, should do something about it.
